His Straight Pet
“You’re… you’re hurting bad, man. That curse—it’s messing you up, huh?”
I shake my head, trying to stand, my legs wobbling like a drunk guy’s, the curse clawing inside, hissing you’re nothing, he’s gonna ditch you. But I see Jude’s lips on mine, back in the fortress, all sloppy and desperate, his shadows wrapping me up, his voice mumbling I love you. It shoves the curse back, makes me feel… tougher, somehow. “It’s real,” I say, voice cracking, wiping sweat and dirt off my face with a shaky hand, smearing it worse. “There’s this… this temple in the mortal world. Calix—he’s after some blade. We don’t stop him, it’s… it’s gonna be bad, Jude. Real bad.”
